Canadian flier Jim Moseley launching his original design "Ellipsis 150" at last August's Empire State Free Flight Championships at Geneseo.
The "Ellipsis" was inspired by a model he built 24 years ago called the "Baby Toots," a tiny 29 square inch ship published in a 1950 Model Airplane News article. This present incarnation has a span of 28 inches powered by six strands of quarter inch rubber driving a 16-inch single blade folder that gives the model a motor run of 80-85 second. The model weighs 51 grams. Photo courtesy of Bob Clemens.
